Why are so many people anti masturbation and pornography? Why do so many people attack something that has never been proven to be detrimental to society?
Do you want a cookie?

Because I was increasingly becoming reliant on porn and it just felt minging after a while.

Fair.

Question though. When you had one after that time was it like throwing a pint of gone off milk into the shower cubicle?

I don't think it is detrimental to society, but imo it can be detrimental to yourself (especially porn) and abstaining can actually be beneficial.
What were the side-effects?

Positives
1. You feel like a new man. It's kind of like taking one of those pills from the movie limitless.
2. You begin to reach true confidence.
3. More confidence = girls notice you more.
4. You begin to notice girls more, they become more attractive as imo porn creates unrealistic expectations
5. Resisting the urge increases will power/ self discipline
6. Time gains
7. Personally I felt at peace with myself

Negatives
1. You think about sex A LOT. You have to keep yourself occupied or create control mechanisms otherwise you can drive yourself crazy.

Fair enough - Why does it increase your confidence though?

To be honest with you I haven't got a clue why. I don't know if it's because of a scientific reason or just some placebo effect. But It just did for me.
